Democratic Party on Welfare & Poverty

Harness power of faith-based organizations PLUS govt

We have ended the era of big government; its time to end the era of old government. We need to create a government that is on-line all the time. We must decentralize government. Democrats believe it is time that government found ways to harness the power
of faith-based organizations. However, we believe that partnerships with faith-based organizations should augment - not replace - government programs, should respect First Amendment protections, and should never use taxpayer funds to proselytize.
